In the BKFC 94 Co-Main Event, Bolton, England’s Jack “Little Lever’s Meat Clever” Cullen dethroned BKFC Middleweight World Champion David “The Redneck” Mundell in a thrilling, back-and-forth, six-round battle for the crown.

Mundell was looking to successfully defend his world title for the fifth time, but Cullen had other ideas, defeating the previously undisputed Champ in a razor-close, split-decision victory. The fight was declared a draw after five rounds and went to the judges’ scorecards after the sixth-and-final, sudden-death overtime round. Two judges scored the fight for Cullen (58-55, 57-56) and one judge scored it for Mundell (57-56). Cullen is now undefeated in his first three trips to the Squared Circle, while the Oldsmar, FL product Mundell moves to 10-3.

Undefeated BKFC superstar Johnny “Cannoli” Garbarino was sitting ringside at BKFC 94 and entered the ring after Cullen’s victory: “I love this city. Beautiful city, beautiful people. But Philadelphia is the best city in the world, and I’m here to take it from your boy.”

Cullen replied, simply enough: “Show me where the money is and I’ll (expletive) go anywhere!”

Here are some highlights from the BKFC 94 Post-Event Press Conference featuring BKFC Founder and President David Feldman.

“This is the highest attendance that they’ve had at AO Arena for any event this year, so we’re very, very happy about that. Great fights, great fights. The Main Event was a little lackluster. In all honesty, I think the guys, when I pay them the kind of money that these guys got paid, they need to go out there and let it hang out a little more. They need to risk a little more.”

“We’ve visited Major League Soccer stadiums, Major League Baseball stadiums and National Football League stadiums over the past several weeks. We’ve put together a partnership with those leagues, and will soon be announcing our Stadium Series, which is huge for us.”
